Madden 2005 Player Ratings!

Winskins · 07-30-2004, 12:52 PM

I usually play all-pro because it helps me break just about every record the league has to offer. I'm not that good at using players on defense either, guess I gotta practice that a little more.

The thing that I really suck at on all-madden: kickoffs and punts

SKINSnCANES · 07-30-2004, 01:25 PM

its hard as hell to kick on all madden. Thats the one thing my friend and I never got down that well. I punt on average 3 times a season, so I wasnt to worried about punting. But when its so hard to kick field goals you definitly tihnk about going for it on 4th down a lot more. If we make a field goal over 40 yards on all madden its very excitng, probably more so then going to the playoffs, lol.

I like the ratings. I think Cartwright is well rated because he can play HB as well as FB. It's his blocking stats that will be important, so I'll jdge when I get to see a proper roster breakdown.

Whenever that is - Madden is not likely to hit our shores until September! Why they can't ship to Europe at the same time as the US release, I'll never know.

SKINSnCANES · 07-30-2004, 02:09 PM

that sucks man, you coudl always order it form here and have it shipped up.

suprnova.org bit torrent fun until your copies arrive...

SKINSnCANES · 07-30-2004, 02:14 PM

whats the deal with taht website, youve giving that link a coupel other times before. Is it just a message board.

That Guy · 07-30-2004, 03:33 PM

no, its a listing of links to torrent files, which is a method of distributing data... it works kinda like kazaa or overnet in some ways, but is generally better, as you can grab the files from 200 different people at once.

downloading games for free and using them for more than 24 hours is illegal, but if you're buying a legit copy and just want it sooner, they'll have it before the stores will (usually).

If you do use torrents, get the azureus client from sourceforge.net, as its the one that i'm sure is completely clean of scum.

AnonEmouse · 08-01-2004, 11:12 AM

No worries guys. I work in IT so getting an illegit copy isn't a problem, and I may just do that until the original arrives. I will buy it though, as it's worth it for the play I get out of it. I always pay for quality games, even if I get dodgy copies first.

It still bugs me that EA take almost a full month to distribute it over here. Not to mention that I'd consider a PS2 if a) I could get NCAA over here and b) you could extract the draft classes to Madden. Amazing how they don't recognise how cross market/platform fertilisation works.... :|

That Guy · 08-01-2004, 12:14 PM

there are ways to mess with ps2 games, but with the cost and trouble of mod chips and the hard drive kit etc, it seems like a waste of time to bother...

Big C · 08-01-2004, 12:43 PM

Cartwright is an 86 for a FULLBACK, not a HALFBACK, so it isnt as generous as it appears. hes prolly a 70 something if u were to put him at halfback in ur depth chart.

SKINSnCANES · 08-01-2004, 01:17 PM

you can import a draft class from ncaa to madden. Or atleast I was always under the impression taht you could.

Big C · 08-01-2004, 01:39 PM

yea uve been able to do that for a while, you just have to play a year of ncaa and save the draft class.

AnonEmouse · 08-03-2004, 03:05 PM

Sorry, but isn't NCAA console only? likewise therefore importing drafts? In my case this is pointless as I won't buy a console for the purpose of playing one game (Ok 2 with NCAA).
